THE death struggle between the Nor
mons and Gentiies in Utah is at hand.
Practically it resolves itself into a hand
to-hand conflict between superstition and
modern enlightenment. The fight can
never be declared a draw; in the struggle
one or the other must go down to death.
There car be no question about the out
come; truth and justice will prevail.
The commencement of a suit for the
disestablishment of the Mormon church
in Salt Lake City yesterday sounds the
death kncll of ~polygamy. The Gentiles
are steadily gaining an ascendency and
tightening the coils about this hydra
headed monster. and the work which has
been prosecuted so long and with such
energy, should not cease until this blight
on modern civilization is cut from the
core of the body polite.

CONE EAR

And now Ketcham is to be taken be-
fore Judge Blair on a writ of habeas cor
pus and the legality of the grand jury
probed into, with the possible result of
multiplying all the trials had at the last
term of court.
Where is this sort OF tomfoolery going
to end2 The last session of the district
court cost the county an enormous sum
and the end is not yet. With the COM
plications being made by the lawyers, the
amount will be increased to outrageous
proportions.
Who of all the unprecedented people
who listened to the trial have the shadow
of a doubt that Trumble was guilty Of the
crime of which he stands convicted Is
his case to be taken to a higher court be-
cause his lawyers believe him an innocent
MANI No, it is not a question OF
his guilt or innocence, but altogether a
matter of hair splitting legal technicality
and nothing more. Everyone will respect
a lawyer who makes a gallant fight for
his client, but dilatory proceedings and
legal exactions hat do the client no good
and simply serve to increase the taxes
should bring down upon the attorney I'M
qualified public reprobation. Everyone
should have respect for the law, but from
its vexatious technicalities the good Lord
deliver us.
We do not believe in incendiary jour
nalism, but the point has now been
reached when every reputable newspaper
should open up its batteries on these
abuses. The line should be sharply
drawn on legal iugglery of all.sorts. As
s~assins, thugs and perjurers have had
their inning; now give the reputable por-
ton of this community a show.
In this country grave public abuses are
oftentimes long tolerated, but there comes
q time when the reaction sets in. 1t is
then very advisable for offenders to hunt
their holes. The bloody Cincinnati riots
are not yet forgotten. They were inau.
gurated. by exactly the same methods as
those being pursued here now.
Public sentiment should not be heed
lessly outraged. The temper of the peo-
pie Of this county is being sorely tried
and the point where forbearance ceases to
be n virtue is being rapidly approached.
Let there be a pause in legal quibbling.

LOCAL BIGOTRY.

We wonder if the bitter malignity with
which the Cheyenne press treat Baker
and Link is because they were Laramie
boysY 1t does not seem credible hat they
would carry their spite to this end.
The foregoing paragraph is taken from
the Laramie Sentinel, where we were
very much surprised to find it As a
matter of fact Baker and Link have been
treated with extraordinary l~eniency by the
Cheyenne press. AS the unfortunate
Polling said just before he died; Those
fellows are sorry, but that doesn't help us
any" That is the case in a nut shell.
Polling is now lying in his untimely grave
and all questions OF sympathy aside, we
see no good reason why those who
brought him there should not suffer the
consequences under the law, whether
they hail from Laramie or Cheyenne.
The point about the Sentinel paragraph
TO which we wish TO draw particular at
t~ention, however, is its undertone of
ranking bitterness. 1t is written in the
spirit OF a man who envles his neighbor
his success, with the difference that it
wishes to crystalline this sentiment of
hatred in one entire community against
another community.
So far as the people of Cheyenne are
concerned, they invariably speak well OF
Laramie, its natural resources and Its
prospects. They do net envy it any of
its prosperity and will throw no stone in
the way OF its growth. They realize
the fact, which seems to have es-
capped the mental grasp of good
Deacon Hayford, that the upbuilding of a
town. especially by the increase of manu-
features, exercises a beneficial effect on
the whole territory. The spirit of sec,
tionalism is a good thing when it is di.
rected toward the upbuilding of ones own
community, but when it takes the shape
of envy it usually cripples industry al
home and may do harm abroad. We
hope the Sentinel does not represent pub
lie sentiment in Laramie in this respect.

The STORY oE A SLAYER.
H,nrtless ErpedIents of n Man Now Liv-
ing in Boston.

Hehrtless ENpedients of n Man Now Liv-
ing In Boston.
The other day / heard a story from a
sea captain who has been all over the
world and finally settled near Atlanta,
thcb best place, he says, he has ever found.
Among the seafaring men he knew be
fore the war was a captain that had been
a SLAYER. Once he had a cargo of 800
slaves, sailing with them from off the
coast of Africa to Cuba. After a few
days sail he saw he was chased by n
United States man of war. If he was
caught with the slaves the penalty was
death for him and his crew, and his cargo
was worth 5000, 600. SO he had two in
c%cntives 10 get away, and made his prep
aratIons for either event-escape or cap
ture. He hung the heavy iron cable or
chain that holds the anchor all around
the hull of his vessel, on the outside, Just
below the edge of the deck. 1t was held
by some cleats. These cables are so heavy
that a man can lift only about two feet
of one. Then he had the 300 naked ne
groes brought on deck and each ones
wrists crossed and tied fast. They were
then placed along the gunwales, facing
outward and leaning over, and II strong
core fastened the hands of each one to this
llttNN nun tlDlt Iu5L DtlON llltIh oIl llt
outside.
Then the captain awaited the result of
the race. He had on every stitch of can
vas his poles could carry. If he could
run till lark he hoped to dodge the
steamer and be out of sight before an
other day. But the sun did not go down
fast enough, and the steamer came on too
fast. There was at last no hope of es-
rapa Tho 1raNNy vtpA1 rnalyx ,rttl nxyDg.
the captain raised his hand, and in an in
slant every cleat was knocked loose.
There was a sudden jerk, over went the
negroes; there was for an instant a fringe
of 600 black heels in the air, and cable
and negroes were gone to the bottom.
Commodore Maury says the pressure of
water at great depths is such that fishes
cannot go there to devour and chemical
decomposition cannot take place. So
these negroes are down there yet, still
tied in a circle to that iron cable, with
their heads down and heels up, in the
eternal stiffness of those depths.
AS soon as the man of war came up a
Lieutenant boarded the SLAYER and found
plenty signs of negroes, but not a single
slave. And the captain was not arrested.
He soon had another cargo of negroes,
which he this time successfully landed
and sold in Cuba. On his return to Bos-
ton. however, he and his mate fell out,
and the mate told on him. The captain,
ran away to Cuba and was not prose-
cuted. After awhile his friends sue.
ceeded in getting a pardon for him from
the president, and he returned to Boston,
where he now resides-wealthy, happy
and respected. He told this story to his
old friend, who told it to me. AS for the
poor negroes jerked over the gunwales SO
suddenly headforemost into the water
f~orever-well, they We're captured while
trying to capture some other negroes to
sell, and only suffered the fate they wero

winning n Wife In Singapore.

The damsel in Singapore is given a
canoe and a double bladed paddle and al
lowed a start of some distance. The
sutton, similarly equipped, starts off in
chase. If he succeeds in overtaking her
she becomes his wife; if not the match is
broken off. 1t is seldom that objection
is offered at the last moment, and the
race is generally n short one. The maid
ems arms are strong, but her heart is soft
and her nature is warm and she soon be-
comes a willing captive. If the marriage
takes place where no stream is near, a
round circle of a certain size is formed,
the damsel is stripped of all but a waist
band and given half the circles start, and
if she succeeds in running three times
around before her sutton comes with her
she il entitled to remain a virgin; if not,
h must consent to the bonds of
matrimony. AS in the other cases, but
few outstrip their lovers.-AIl the Year

for it may be accepted as a very safe pro-
position that the individual or town that
is devoted to building up his or its own
business will much more surely succeed
than the individual or town that is de.
voted to pulling down neighbors.
For III own part we shall always re-
joice in the evidences of prosperity shown
not only in Laramie, but in every other
town in the territory, while at the same
time doing whatever lies in our power to
promote the growth and prosperity Of
Cheyenne. Within ten years we will
have here a city of metropolitan proper

envy Laramie or any other town the
fullest Measure of success.

Their Wedding Tour.

A rather unusual sight was afforded
loungers in the park the other afternoon.
AT the close of n wedding ceremony in
the afternoon the groom and bride, in
stead of going off to the depot and taking
an uncomfortable tour ON the cars, got
into a carriage in the attire in which
they were married and drove through
the park. AS the bride was in white
satin and wore her bridal veil and orange
blossoms. and the groom looked serenely
happy, they attracted any amount of at
tention and good natured comment.
They drove around the park for some
time and then went to their future home
as well satisfied as if they had taken a
trip to Chicago Albany journal.

soCIABLE AT DIR. HANKS.
Another Pleasant Reception - Unex-
pccted Marriage.

Last evening one of the most pleas
ant social entertainments of the season
W 4s had at the residence OF Rev. Il. L.
Hanks, the occasion being the regular
semi-monthly sociable given to the
members and friends of the First Bap-
fist Church. Some 200 guests were
present, and DR.. aud Mrs. Hanks so
Hospitality received them that not ono
seemed to have been overlooked and
everybody had a good time.
Music, Rotations and reading were
interspersed with other social amuse-
ments, which gave an opportunity to
all to be entertained after their own
style. The programme consisted Of:
A Cornct Solo-By Mr.. VIII A.
Watkin.
Recitation-By Miss Annie Ten
nison.
Vocal Solo--By Mrs. VIII A. Wat
kin.
Instrumental Solo by Mrs. Turner
Vocal Duct-.By Mr.. and Mrs. II. G.
Ayers.
Vocal Solo-Bv Miss Jessie Prathcr
Rcading--By Miss Lucy Collier.
The programme was so well cxecut-
ed that to comment on each part
would require considerable space.
Suffice to say that the large number
present seemed thoroughly convinced
that it coald not have been better.
While the guests were having a so
cial treat among themselves, and at
the time when they were least expe' l.
ing a change in the regular program,
DR.. Hanks returned to the parlors, and
announced that he had just performed
the sacred rites OF matrimony, which
united NJ. Il. +. Gary and Miss Ora
Orr as husband and wife.
The young couple were then ushcred
into the parlor, where they received
I many kind wishes from friends.
Mr.. Hanks played his part well. He
had slipped up stairs AMI performed
the ceremony. and all was done before
half dozen in the house had suspi-
cioned anything.
About II p. m. the guests rel1nc-
family began to take their departure,
and if the good "parson" had consent
ed, II o'clock would have caught them
all still havinga good time.
